If i go with the 6870, should I be able to run all of the new and upcoming games at a normal fps? It's an extra $50 after rebate so I hope it'll be worth it

Or would this one be better?

If your # 1 priority is gaming, the graphics cards is the most important. Since gaming is the most important for me, what I usually do is pick the graphics card I want and try to build the computer around it (budget wise).

I decided to go with the 6870, thanks for the help
